If you’re buying, you must pay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Yun Shan hurriedly pushed it back; after a back-and-forth, he finally accepted it, unable to withstand Chu Danqing’s insistence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Chu, when do you plan to send a letter to Prince Ning, clarifying that the Yun family has no ill intent?” Yun Shan asked quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing paused briefly, then said: “Your method treats symptoms, not the root. I intend a permanent solution.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His solution, of course, was to kill Prince Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he would wait until after completing his mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The immediate priority was to assimilate the Tongxin Lotus Seed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, Brother Chu has promised, so it’s done—he’s got plenty of skill,” Yang Qianyuan added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing’s eyebrow twitched. Don’t praise me anymore—he feared Yang Qianyuan’s flattery might force him to duel Prince Ning outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Chu Danqing replied stiffly, but he couldn’t expose the truth now—he had to agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few more pleasantries, everyone left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing also said they could be found at the Dragon Phoenix Inn on the next street if anything arose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Tang Ziwei, he had initially planned to leave, but after meeting his little admirer Yun Yun, the two seemed to be chatting warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Shan noticed, but pretended not to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His purpose in bringing his daughter was precisely this—he’d hoped to bind Chu Danqing or Yang Qianyuan, but neither showed any interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he’d secured Tang Ziwei as a backup; that was acceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was thanks to his daughter’s admiration for Tang Ziwei’s talent that this advantage existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it fell short of expectations, it added a layer of security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning to the Dragon Phoenix Inn, Chu Danqing and Yang Qianyuan were met by Li Wanwu, who asked how things had gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Smoothly. The Yun family just had bad luck—their daughter caught Prince Ning’s eye,” Chu Danqing summarized briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wanwu’s expression turned grim at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She feared repeating her own past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But don’t worry—we’ll handle it,” Chu Danqing said honestly. Debt piled high doesn’t crush you, and the target was only Prince Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He comforted her with a few more words, then returned to his room to assimilate the Tongxin Lotus Seed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assimilation posed little difficulty; even street thugs and the poor could assimilate spirit beasts, proving it was simple and straightforward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing’s identity knowledge included it inherently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he had the Purple Palace talent, he couldn’t use it—only classified as common knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with the Purple Palace, it was far easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under his control, the Purple Palace connected with the Tongxin Lotus Seed; since the Tongxin Lotus Seed was a plant spirit beast without self-awareness, and already weak and dormant, it was assimilated instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no difficulty at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【You have assimilated the target using the talent · Purple Palace.

The good news: both talent and skills filled his last major weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the low minute-by-minute absorption? Trivial—he actively raised the threshold, using the Purple Palace to boost the lotus seed’s absorption efficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far more convenient than bloodletting; now, his HP could remain permanently at 50%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All passive skills requiring reduced HP to activate reached peak effectiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, the Tongxin Lotus Seed needed vitality not just for damage negation—it was fundamentally a nutrient reservoir for its growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reserve capacity was large; excess was repurposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most Tongxin Lotus Seeds lacked the Lotus Seed Heartshield skill; his was among the elite of its kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in its lowest form, even the elite was weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good news is good, but the bad news is bad—all five attributes are 1 point,” Chu Danqing muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Palace returned only 0.1 attribute points, but it was better than nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for cultivation, he already had an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life-based resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had one ready: his own HP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since 30 HP per minute was too little, Chu Danqing fed the Tongxin Lotus Seed any HP above 50% via the Purple Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the vitality reserve and shield cap were reached, excess vitality was locked within the Purple Palace as a more suitable growth environment for the Tongxin Lotus Seed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll need Qianyuan to help find a spirit beast skill that offsets the state penalties from low HP,” Chu Danqing thought. His HP had dropped below 50%, and his condition had deteriorated severely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he didn’t need to fight; discomfort was bearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he raised both reserves and the defensive array to full capacity, he’d restore his HP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze then turned to the chain quest—it was the final stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reward had already appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Chain Quest Stage 3: Kill a member of the An Yong Dynasty imperial clan】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Trial Difficulty: B-Class ~ S-Class (Brave ~ Nightmare)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Trial Reward: Quality of Purple Palace Spirit Beast Evolution Chart based on rank of slain imperial clan member】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Trial Failure: None】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The final obsession of the Tianchi Dragon requires me to kill an imperial clan member—does that mean Yang Qianyuan’s father’s death is tied to the An Yong imperial clan?” Chu Danqing frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The quest couldn’t appear randomly—it must relate to the item itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need to let Qianyuan know—he clearly didn’t know about this either,\" Chu Danqing muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for how to explain it, there’s no need now; I can wait until he returns to the Paradise and summon Yang Qianyuan before explaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explaining now would be completely meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he trusts me, he won’t press for reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come to think of it, to get an S-rank, they’re not asking me to kill the Southern Patrol Emperor, are they?
